Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

Our Lady of Czestochowa, Merciful Mother,

you are a visible sign of the power of the scars in our lives.

Multiple attempts have been made to cover your wounds,

much like the experience of post abortive people.

However, no matter how many attempts, the scars returned.

Instead of a source of pain,

they have become a sign of your great love for us,

and your willingness to embrace them

has  manifested that love through centuries of healings and conversions.

Our scars of abortion will also remain with us, but with your help,

they too will turn into a sign of Christ's love,

and a memorial to our children lost to abortion.

Through your image, you have brought countless people to the truth of your Son, Jesus,

help us to use our scars of abortion to do the same.

May we always proclaim the miracle of His mercy to us.

May this healing lead others to your Son,

so that they too may learn to carry their scars with love.

Our Lady of Czestochowa, patroness of those post abortive,

we trust in your motherly presence and the many miracles associated with this image.

May we follow you as you lead us to your Son, Jesus,

and to our children who are with you both in heaven.

Amen
